How the NATR20-PP model number is decoded
envelope 20×47×25 mm: the 47 mm outside diameter is the track-running surface — a thick-walled outer ring over a 20 mm bore — and the 25 mm width sets the contact width on the mating track the catalogue lists C 15.4 kN and C0 26 kN for the NATR yoke-type track roller with cage and axial guidance; the C/C0 ratio of 0.59 reflects a rolling-element pack sized for heavy static track loading, and the 13.5 mm radial section gives the outer ring its bending stiffness fatigue load limit Cur is 3.45 kN at 20 mm bore, equivalent to 0.77 kN of dynamic rating per millimetre — the limiting speed is 2,400 r/min and, as for HR1 track rollers, no thermal reference speed is published the 20 mm bore takes the mounting pin or shaft; across the 25 mm contact width the dynamic rating works out to 0.62 kN per millimetre of rolling-element complement mass is 236 g, or 0.20 g per mm² of the 47×25 mm track envelope — inertia that the drive must accelerate on every index of the cam the 20 mm pin bore falls in the small band, the workhorse size for gearbox planetary positions, hydraulic pumps and general cam and linkage duty The cage can be damaged by heavy shock loads even though the rollers would survive — size to C, not just envelope The outer-ring ribs give axial guidance, so the roller tolerates light thrust from skewed tracks without external flanges; the 25 mm width covers most standard cam geometries Reading -PP: rubbing seals at each face of the 47 mm outer ring; they protect the rolling-element pack in abrasive track environments at the cost of a small drag torque. Typical applications include packaging machine timing mechanisms, woodworking machine feed tracks and agricultural and textile cam followers, where the 47 mm track diameter and 15.4 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In packaging machine timing mechanisms the unit fits a compact 20 mm seat, and in woodworking machine feed tracks the 236 g mass keeps follower kinetics light. Designers also specify it for agricultural and textile cam followers, relying on the 25 mm width and the published 26 kN static rating. Yoke lugs must support the pin on both sides over its full length — single-sided support turns the pin into a cantilever beam. Check the mating track hardness and flatness — a soft or scalloped rail fails before the 47 mm outer ring does.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- woodworking machine feed tracks
- linear rail and profile track guidance
- packaging machine timing mechanisms
- agricultural and textile cam followers
Known failure patterns
- outer-ring fatigue cracking across the unsupported track zone under excessive static load
- track-side brinelling when the mating rail is softer than the roller running surface
- flat spots from standing loads or very short oscillating strokes on full-complement rollers
- seal lip failure and grease loss after sustained running above the limiting speed (PP/2RSR executions)
- edge wear from skewed tracks that exceed the crowned-profile correction range
- pin-seat fretting where a hard journal requirement (RSTO/RNA22) was met with a soft pin
- roller walk-off in flangeless STO/RSTO executions with uncontrolled lateral float
- contamination entry through open sides in dusty or wash-down environments
- cage fracture in caged NATR/STO rollers exposed to heavy shock
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Yoke lugs must support the pin on both sides over its full length — single-sided support turns the pin into a cantilever beam.
- Check the mating track hardness and flatness — a soft or scalloped rail fails before the 47 mm outer ring does.
- Full-complement NATV/NUTR/PWTR rollers make heat and flat-spot easily — slow continuous rotation is fine, stationary load on a turning track is not.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of the NATR20-PP?
The NATR20-PP is a NATR yoke-type track roller with cage and axial guidance with 47 mm outside diameter, 20 mm bore and 25 mm width, envelope 20×47×25 mm. Mass is 236 g.
What does the NATR20-PP designation mean in the FAG/INA HR1 catalogue?
NATR20-PP identifies this NATR yoke-type track roller with cage and axial guidance in the Schaeffler HR1 rolling bearings catalogue. The envelope is 20×47×25 mm and the catalogue ratings are C 15.4 kN, C0 26 kN, Cur 3.45 kN.
What is the load capacity of the NATR20-PP?
The basic dynamic load rating C is 15.4 kN and the basic static load rating C0 is 26 kN; the fatigue load limit Cur is 3.45 kN. For track rollers these values already cover the thick-walled outer ring bending case on an unsupported track.
What is the maximum speed of the NATR20-PP?
HR1 lists a limiting speed of 2,400 r/min for track rollers and no thermal reference speed. The crowned thick-walled outer ring and (on stud types) the stud contact make the limiting speed the governing figure.
What must the mating track and pin look like for the NATR20-PP?
The track should be flat, harder than the roller contact and clean; the crowned 47 mm outer surface tolerates only small angular error. The inner ring lets the 20 mm pin run at normal machined tolerance; lateral guidance comes from the adjacent structure on flangeless executions.
